Conclusions
-
1.
The influence of pyridine, methanol, ethanol, and allyl alcohol on the rate of decomposition ofπ-allyl palladium chloride in aqueous alkaline solutions, as well as the influence of oxygen on the rate and direction of decomposition of the complex, were investigated.
-
2.
In the presence of pyridine under conditions in whichπ-allyl palladium chloride exists chiefly in the form of the pyridine derivative C3H5PdClNC5H5, practically no decomposition of the complex is observed.
-
3.
Additions of methanol and ethanol lead to a substantial increase in the rate of decomposition of [C3H5PdCl]2. When C2H5OH is replaced by C2D5OH, an isotopic kinetic effect (∼2.8-fold) is observed.
-
4.
Additions of allyl alcohol lead to a sharp increase in the rate of decomposition of [C3H5PdCl]2. In this case the amount of propylene formed is doubled and comprises one mole per C3H5PdCl group. Propylene is formed from theπ-allyl group, but not from allyl alcohol.
-
5.
In an atmosphere of oxygen there is an inhibition of the decomposition of [C3H5PdCl]2. In this case the decomposition product is a compound of palladium (II).
